APPEAL TO CO-OP CUSTOMERS TO HELP SUPPORT THE CLIMATE OUTREACH INFORMATION NETWORK

Co-Op customers are being asked to vote for climate change charities to receive funding - the more votes they receive,the more funding they can receive.

The Climate Outreach Information Network is a new charity and still finding it hard to find funding. If you are a Co-Op customer your vote could be a great help for our work.

We run speaker events, action groups, workshops and actively empower people to take personal action on climate change. We are strongly committed to building a movement for action on climate change and support many other small organisations working in this area with free speakers and workshops, advice, contacts, and funding. In the past two years we have supported over 25 other organisations in this way.There is more information on COIN and our work on www.coinet.org.uk

We will use the Co-Op funding to build and promote the first national network for people taking the practical steps in their lives to reduce their carbon emissions.
